About Andres
Andres Hoyo helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, and challenges around parenting and family life. He is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
Andres speaks English and Spanish and takes a client-centered approach in sessions. He keeps sessions collaborative and nonjudgmental.
Clients lead the conversation and Andres follows their priorities to figure out what matters most. He focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings to build everyday coping skills.
Andres uses straightforward methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to calm the body and mind. He also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories and motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels low.
In therapy he helps people deal with life transitions, work and money stress, multicultural and immigration concerns, self-esteem struggles, and process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use. He also supports those working through blended family issues, jealousy, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Andres aims to create a space where people feel heard, discover strengths, and take small steps toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection while the client guides goals and timing; this style helps when someone needs a respectful, steady space to sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andres will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That means testing techniques, adjusting the plan, and picking tools that match the client's pace and situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These formats help people keep therapy going when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult.
